10 Things: A Drugstore Haul.

Here's a collective haul, since I ended up dropping too much money in drugstores ever since I completed my #nobuymakeup challenge.

Base ProductsI can't believe Catrice Illuminating Serum Primer is my first drugstore primer ever, considering the fact that I'm a makeup addict. This limited edition primer was on sale for 15% off and I needed a "glowing" base, so I decided to get it after seeing positive reviews from the local beauty community.Next, I added two new foundations to my stash- as if I needed another!. The first one is the Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation and if I remember it correctly, there are only 4 shades available in Guardian. I picked up the lightest shade they have and couldn't be happier because it matches me the best after oxidation. So far I love the matte formulation, finishing, staying power and also the right amount of yellow undertone to it. Meanwhile, Maybelline Fit Me Poreless tends to run on pink and peachy undertone and it was a bit hard for me to find the right one even though they brought in a bigger shade selection. Picked up 128 Warm Beige but I wish I had gotten 120 Classic Ivory instead. Along with the foundation, I also repurchased another Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer. It's the best if you have undereye fine lines! Trust me!

EyesI bought another Essence mascara mainly because it's a great value for money. Essence always offers makeup products at a budget friendly price and that makes me genuinely love and appreciate it because I can regularly try out lots of stuff from them. This time around, I decided to get the For-Bidden Volume Mascara. The range comes with another mascara which is the For-Bidden Volume Rebel Mascara but I figured that could possibly similar to Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Mascara that I have reviewed earlier and I would like to try other variants.

LipsNot the biggest fan of lip products but I decided to get two things whilst both of them were on sale. The first one is the ever famous Peripera Peri's Tint Water in Strawberry Juice. I haven't tried this one yet but I heard good things about it. The Nivea Blueberry Blush Lip Butter also came home with me for the same reason, plus, it's new! I love how our drugstores lately are stepping up the games by bringing in a lot of popular Western beauty items. For this lip balm, while I know the raspberry flavour is more popular, I wasn't intrigued by it as I'm not the biggest fan of its scent.

SkincareI haven't been using Bio-essence Miracle Bio Water Sunscreen for so long and it just makes sense to repurchase because if you read my detail review on this, I did give the product a high score. It's lightweight, easily absorbed into the skin and it doesn't make my foundation piling. Meanwhile, Hada Labo Mild And Sensitive Facial Wash is my current holy grail water-based cleanser and I just have to repurchase another one as a backup.

Etc.Stepping up my skincare game by purchasing this little guy over here! It's the MColorpHast pH indicator, accidentally found it while I was at a pharmacy in Putrajaya. This is not a must have item but definitely would be useful to anyone who's looking for low pH or pH balance cleanser. I have tested several of my cleansers recently, I will let you know after I've finished updating them all.

That's it for my drugstore haul. Are you keen to see another haul from SaSa? Let me know and I'll happy to oblige!

Hi there LdyNisa! I'm still in the testing period, but if you want a short review about it, well it does give me the subtle 'glow' base and if I pair it with the Catrice HD Foundation, the finishing is no longer matte! :D
